Havana Hideout

Christina Mendenhall
Surrounded by tiki torches and a canopy of foliage, directly off of the well-trekked Lake Avenue, Havana Hideout feels more like a relaxed backyard party than a stuffy culinary destination. Sit with the sand in your toes in one of several folding chairs and dig into plates of empanadas seasoned with ground beef, shredded cheese, caramelized onions and roasted potatoes, ceviche, quesadillas and tacos. Their pressed Cuban sandwich is legendary. Just ask The Food Network's Guy Fieri, of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, who came by for a cooking lesson.
